Australia bushfires: Hunter becomes unlikely hero after rescuing koalas

A hunter has become an unlikely hero after he risked his life and entered unsafe areas of Victoria to save Koalas from dely bushfires. According to Patrick, he rescued a total of nine koalas from almost certain deaths by venturing into eucalyptus forests in Mallacoota, East Gippsland.

While talking to local media, Patrick said that he found first koala under pump of a water treatment plant. That first koala spurred Patrick into action and n he continued to find more and ended up finding 8-9 of m. But he also found quite a few koalas' that did t make it.

Because Patrick is a hunter by profession, that is why people found it so hard to believe that he was saving animals. After being rescued Patrick took koalas to nearby Mallacoota Wildlife Shelter, which is actually just someone's house, where y are being looked after.
